Descriptions

The Image Hover Effects Ultimate plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the Title & Description values that can be added to an Image Hover in versions up to, and including, 9.7.3 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. By default, the plugin only allows administrators access to edit Image Hovers, however, if a site admin makes the plugin's features available to lower privileged users through the 'Who Can Edit?' setting then this can be exploited by those users.

El plugin Image Hover Effects Ultimate para WordPress es vulnerable a un ataque de tipo Cross-Site Scripting Almacenado por medio de los valores Title &amp; Description que pueden ser añadidos a un Image Hover en versiones hasta, e incluyendo, la 9.7.3 debido a un saneo insuficiente de la entrada y escape de la salida. Esto hace posible a atacantes autenticados inyectar scripts web arbitrarios en las páginas que serán ejecutadas cada vez que un usuario acceda a una página inyectada. Por defecto, el plugin sólo permite a administradores el acceso a la edición de Image Hovers, sin embargo, si un administrador del sitio hace que las características del plugin estén disponibles para usuarios menos privilegiados mediante la configuración "Who Can Edit?" entonces esto puede ser explotado por esos usuarios.
